Opening Day

Bush getting booed in D.C. is awesome.

Cubs v. Brewers was awesome.

L.A. Dodgers are the team to watch.

Yankees rain out sucks, but so does baseball in March.

more games to watch, gotta' go!!!

here it is the big day

we got rain in chicago, sun in LA & about 2 feet of snow in my yard......play ball!

oh, that's weird it's still spring training, mind if i take off my shirt?

This is either a map of my rape and pillaging in the old college days or it's facilites of baseball teams in florida. hey i would totally move to florida if it wasn't going to disappear in my lifetime. let's see this house is five feet above sea-level you say? hmm that sounds like a good lifetime investment, sold! nha, just kidding i don't believe that. 100 years from now though? possible. anyways hurray baseball in florida!

Here Comes The Sun

I have no idea why playing in Japan is necessary, but when i woke up at 6 this morning and turned on espn2 i officially declared it the end of winter. Finally , games that matter. Regular season baseball is back and the world's greatest team will be opening their season on monday, in America...

6:05 A.M.

in less than 12 hours Bartles and James will be back in business...

Manny

Hey homes! It's me Manny. Hey Homes I'm in this dome, in like Japan ju'know? Maybe we play good maybe we don't, I don't care. We don't want to eat de cake before the birthday ju'know? Hey excuse me homes I tought I 'it that ball over the fence, Manny needs to run now ju'know?

at least he's not in Boston...

Hey Noto! Come Join my Reader's Digest/Beard Cult

it's funny when the best player in baseball signs a new contract with your team and you are disappointed about it.

Now it's getting interesting...

One Year of Bartles and James

and it's completely dead.
Red Sox will most likely win. who cares???

NOW WHAT???

this is the celebration that should have happened

These games are just a practice for the upcoming ALCS. Fucking great Friday. Saturday sucked and left me wondering what Kevin Youklis ever did to The Yankees..

Clemens v. Schilling = old and overpaid pitchers. A little bit of old timers day tonight at Fenway Pawk.

AN A-BOMB FROM AROD

and another

and another

and another!

too bad for any other team dreaming they might win anything in 2007... go back to bed, Yankees got it locked up tight. another touch of history, making you all look awful and lonely girl at the dance. bartles charge your phone for this next series...

and how about the buffalo bills???

a whole different season/sport/point of view.

good reasons to drink too early in the day!

This thing ain't over

6 games up today, looks like the Yankees are 3 up in the wild card. One more series at Fenway Then possibly a postseason dance perhaps This Sox, Yanks thing just doesn't seem to end does it, it would probably be good idea for a blog. Well I'm tickled pink to know we'll both be in it, it's really not any fun when you're playing the Angels.

The Abyss that is JD Drew

Well we always knew this bastard would haunt us, never really a doubt, never really any good times. At least Matt Clement went 8-0 to start off his dreadful term with the Sox.

This series was certainly not fun to watch, not that I watched it, I listened to it. A couple of things stand out....Joba Chamberlain has officially arrived & J. Damon still has a flair for the dramatic.

And who the hell scheduled this series in the middle of the week?

Regarding our diminshing division lead of 5 games, I don't think there's any question we will barely snake out the division, but seeing the Yankees in the playoffs with our bats this dead would be quite scary. Dice-K and Beckett clearly aren't pitching in a dominant fashion (which is what got us here in the first place)

But what this all proves is that Manny, not Schilling, is the heart of this team. With him out we really are an average at best line-up.

5.0 / 0.0

Nothing says "intimidation" like a one hundred mile per hour fastball thrown at your fucking head. Or how about 2 fastballs thrown at your fucking head. Out of the way Red Sox. No painted socks this year, no crying and gay ass cowboy up bullshit. Just your defeat!!!

6.0 / 0.0

A suspicious lack of activity here at Bartles and James as The New York Yankees win the first two of three against The Boston Red Sox. I will have a full recap after tomorrow's game. Or better yet, after I get out of work tomorrow and watch the replay of tomorrow's game. If this is a preview of the playoffs I am enjoying what I am seeing. When The New York Yankees get into a short series they are dangerous. Three solid starters and a fucking devastating 8th /9th inning combo... Joba is a fucking serious threat. o.oo era in 12 appearances, reminds me of a young Mariano, back when he was an 8th inning setup man- remember when??? Strive to win the east- and pay no attention as you get the wild card...
